Hard Rock Hotel, Bali

Bali pleases on every level. It has so much variety – surfing holidays, yoga in the mountains, romantic villas, spa retreats, resorts large and small – it’s all there.

Everyone knows that Kuta is the bustling hub of the island. In the south of the island, sitting on a beachfront stretch of the Indian Ocean, it became a popular destination for surfers from all around the world.

Catriona Rowntree was surprised and delighted to find a family friendly resort on 1.5 ha in the middle of it all. Hard Rock Hotel Bali has been operating for 18 years and it has certainly kept up with the times.

Rooms are decorated with memorabilia and icons telling of the uprising and development of music, fashion and the arts, celebrating everything from the 50’s to the late 90’s.

It is a haven with an activity team to keep children constantly entertained. Catriona chatted to a very happy mother and said it ticks all the boxes for equally happy children.

It is a true destination resort with plenty of pools, Kids’ Club, a waterpark, its own sand beach and don’t they love the foam parties!

There are dining options galore, including Jamie Oliver’s renowned Jamie’s Italian. Pasta is made on-site every day and they serve a fantastic antipasto selection and a wide choice of fresh seafood.

Apart from being family friendly, Hard Rock is a utopia for music lovers. There are over 500 pieces of rock and roll memorabilia, collected from around the world and live music every night.

You can rock out in the privacy of your own suite with a menu of Fender guitars to choose from, an amp and headphones – all complimentary. They even have Boom Box, an on-site recording studio. At the end of a session you have a keepsake to share – or not. Boom Box doubles as a karaoke recording studio with all the band equipment provided.

If you just adore your music and want to live like a star for a few days, treat yourself to the Rockstar Suite. There are Luxury Kids’ Suites decked out to please every member of the family. Many of the suites overlook the Chill Out Pool which was designed to do just that.
